About This Book

A first-person narrator compiles linked domestic sketches and letters that record social observations and neighborhood episodes. The pieces examine suburban and family life, changing social customs, clubroom habits, and the small scandals and amusements of neighbors and callers. Gentle satire and quiet humor arise in portraits of gossip, rearranged households, romantic complications, and the eccentricities of collectors and visitors, with the material presented as journal entries, epistolary fragments, and brief comic scenes that together sketch a community in flux.
